Under the Hood

I admit I am a newbie when it comes to posting on Youtube. As usual like you and everyone, I’ve also watched Peter Mackinon and

Ali Abdaal

I am a big fan of both of them not because of their content but because of their consistency.

Ali keeps on focusing to create systems rather than GOALS.

What does it mean is the big question, I read the same concept in Atomic Habits and now I am listening to it from the top and my favourite people on the internet.

Build a SYSTEM instead of GOALS.

• How do you work?

• How do you run your company?

• What’s your daily routine when it comes to working for your GOAL

and bla bla bla

Let me explain,

• Set your GOAL

• Create the Deadline - monthly/yearly/weekly

• Write the plan, each and everything

• Stick to the plan, no matter what, just stick to the plan

That’s it, it’s as simple as it sounds but as difficult to do it.

INVERSION Technique

It’s a technique where you flipped the GOAL or objective and then think about how you can’t achieve that GOAL

Basically, What factors can stop you from accomplishing > the GOAL?

Once you know all the factors that can stop you from achieving goals, the fight becomes easier.

The BIGGER the WHY is the clear the HOW will become

Thinking using the inversion technique will help you stay consistent.

Make a Plan, I did it

So, the goal was to start a youtube channel, like everybody I watched tonnes of other YouTubers to get motivated.

Then I make a plan and use the inversion technique.

How I can’t succeed on Youtube is the FIRST question and a couple of reasons can be listed

• If am not consistent

• If I don’t get views

• If I don’t get money

Those are the 3 important reasons that can STOP me.

Since I knew the reason to get failed, I make a plan accordingly.

And the only thing that came as the solution is to take 30 days video challenge and BOOM, here I commence the process.

Writing down the PLAN

The next and last part is to write down the PLAN.

I am a big fan of Notion, you can use whatever you want just use it.

Just write down the plan, each and everything.

• I write down the 10 ideas for the videos

• Then I keep the date of publishing when it should be uploaded

• Then I write on how to create thumbnails, titles, tags and edit videos

• Then I write the way to arrange all the videos in one place, below is the image.

Notion list of my Youtube videos

• Then I write the status of videos, [ uploaded, editing, not started ]

And bla bla bla….

Write down each and everything, it just helps to again stay consistent.

Execution

Well, nothing to talk about execution.

I prefer not to think too much when it comes to executing the plans. Just stick to the plans and my plan was to complete 30 days 30 shorts challenge.

Below is the proof of the shorts I’ve uploaded in 30 days.

Results

Now you might have curiosity regarding the outcome since I’ve just started so I didn’t gain too many subscribers.

But, a BIG but

I’ve more than 100 videos, and more than 100 subscribers almost 200, if you can subscribe, I will easily reach 200 😁

👉🏻 Do subscribe, to my channel 👇

I have got a process or so-called system for creating Youtube videos and gained more than 30K views.

Now, I won’t feel too much pain in creating Youtube videos, in fact, it has become a kind of FUN thing to do after writing code and writing on a medium.

If you are an Indian, I’ve started a new channel in Hindi(my native language) also, so feel free to watch videos in Hindi.
